To all fwhomfit mag/concern. i

Be it known that I, Joni: lVALonnm, citi-` 'zen of the United. States, and resident, of

Newark, in the county of Essex and Statieof New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Type-Triting Machines,- of which the following is a specification. Y

My invention. lates to typewritinfr machinos and more particularly to tahulating mechanism.

The main objects of my invention, generally stated, arc to provide comparatively simple and efficienti tahulating mechanism hy4 which any desired columnar position can be selected .at will, and by which any desired denominational position in a column may he selected so that the -arriagc may, after a Single run, he arrested aty any desired columnar' field or at. any desired denominational position within any selected columnar field.

A fui-ther olojcct of my invention. generally stated, isto provide con'iparativcly siinplc'and etlicieut means whereby parts of the tabulating mechanism ma)v he locked in the position to which they may hc. set or .moved under control of' a tahulaloclcey and to au toniatically.release the locking means.

To thealoove and other ends which will hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the features ot construction. arrangements of parts, and combinations ot' devices to he set. forth in the following' swcification and yparticularly pointed out in the appended claims. l

In the accompanying drawingsr I have shown only so much of the typewriting machine as may be necessary tO- arrivefat an i1nderstandingl of my invention. l

I have shown my intention embodied in the )resent instance in a No. 11 Remington machine. exceptin so far as the tahulat-ing mechanism of that. machine may be modified or replaced by. features ofv my present, invention. and except. in so far as that m'achine vmay he modified to effect an embodiment'. of

lac made in thc construction to facilitate such embodiment.

. The typewriting machine illustratedl in th'e present instance has a frame Which'comprises u. hase fl, corner posts S2 and a to rlhe'usual type bars (not shown? arc mounted to swing upwardly and reinbwrlrilly against the front face of' the cylindrical platen 4 which is mounted in a ycarringe 5 supported ou anti-friction balls or rollers 6 to travel trom side to side'of the machine. over the top plate: the carriage being' moved in the direction ofits feed a spi-innr drum 7 connected to the carriage 'in thc usual manner. The carriage is underl control of the usual cscapemcnt mcchanisi" xl which includes a feed pinion 8 with which"-4 .meshes a feed rack Scarried by the ear ringe. The feedrack is'adapted to be released from the feed pinion at talolulatingI operation 1n a manner to be hereinafter de- -arrested by the tabulating mechanism.

Referring first more particularly to {dip-s4 `1`to 6, inclusive, and to the column selecting mechanism disclosed therein, it will he .seen that brackets 10 are secured to the rear cross .bar of the carriage by screws l1. These brackets include rearwardly extending arms formed with bearing portions 'l2 at the rear ends thereof to receive a .shaft 13 fixed against-rotative movement on the sup orting arms by set screws 14. 'l`his sha t.Y extends throughout, or substantially throughout, the length of the carriage and beyond the brackets 10. Arms l5 are pivoted on the shaft 13 near the ends thereof\ and extend upwardly from the shaft a`d are fixed at their upper ends hy screws 6 to a column stop bar 17. This column s op bar is preferably provided with teeth 18 on opposite sides thereof to provide interdental spaces 19 in which biturcatcd sheet metal column stops-20 are adapted to be received; adjacent interdental spaces 19 being located a letter space distance apart. From an inspection of Fig. 2 it will he observed thatfrom left to 'right the column stops extend at gradually increasing distances from the rear side of the column stop bar. The manner of nmunting. the column stop bar on theshafti enables the ba''ito swing about the shaft '1.3 as a center to any one of a number of dierent positions depending on the actuation of the column selecting keys as will hereinafter more clearly appear. Thusl it will be secu that. the left-hand end of the column stop bar is made cylindrical as indicated at 21 for cooperation withaseriesof screw stops or arresting devices 22. Each of thesc'stops is received in ali internallyy threaded bearing 23 in the end of a lever 24 which extends fore and aft of the machine and is mounted to turn on a screw pivot 25, received at its tapped end in an upwardly extending arm 26 on the vleft-hand bracket 10. The key levers 24 are arranged parallel with each otherand extend along the left hand side bar of the carriage and terminate at different distances at the forward ends thereof.

Each of these column selecting key. levers is provided with a linger key. or button 27 which bears an indicating mark such, for instance, as the numerals lf 2, 3 or 4 and a spring c for each key lever restoresi'itto normalposition. From an in spectiion of Figs. 2 and 4 it .will be seen that y theforward ends of the screw stops 22 are arranged at different distances from the key4 85 levtrs that carry'them so that the Stops haveagainst the stops 28 on thev column selecting a graduated arrangement. Moreover, it will he underslood that these screw stops, with one exception, are normally malntained in thc lower-most position where they are out of the path of the swinging movement of the column stop bar around the shalt 1?). When, however, a column selecting key 2T is depressed the rear end of the associated key lever is elevated to move the screw stop 2i? carried thereby into the path ol thev cylindrical extension 2l on the column .stop har, as indicated in Fig. 4. The stop uliiclrhas thus been elevatedis in the path of the extension cn the column stop bar and limits the rearward swinging t movement thereof from the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. -jl to some such position as that shown in full lilies in said figure, depending, of course, on which of the screw stops has been moved into the pat-h of the column stop bar. Each of the key levers 24 is also provided with an upwardly extending arm or finger 28 which is at all times maintained in position to-coperate with the cylindrical end 2l ofthe column stop bar to limit .the forward swinging movement ofsaid stop bar as indicated in Figs. 2 and 4. The column stop bar is normally maintained in contact with the stop' members 28 as will presently appear. A universal releasing device or bar 29 (sce Figs. 3 and It) extends substantially througl'iout the lengt-h of the carriage 4and is provided with arms 30. at the ends thereof; each of said arms having'V a bearing 3l which surrounds the shaft 13 to loosely support the universal bar. or bail on said shaft. .A pin 32 projects from one of the arms 30 providing means for connecting one end of' a contractile spring 33 to the universal bar 29. The opposite end of said spring is connected to a pin 34 which projects from a depending arm carried necting the universal bar and the column i stop bar to move togetl'ier. A coiled spring 36 surrounds the left-hand bearing 31* of the universal bar (see Fig. 3) and one end of th is spring is connected to one of the brackets 10 as indicated at 37, the oppositeend of said spring being connected to a forwardly' extending projection 38 on the left-hand supporting arm 80. The pressure ot this spring is exerted to normally maintain the parts disposed as they appear in Figs. 1 and 2 with the column` stop bar in the forwardl position with the end 2l thereof bearing key levers.

From an inspection of 3 and 4i it will be -seen that the forwardly projecting arm."

38 extends beneath a set screw 39 received in a threaded opening in a laterally extending-u32 erin 40 which projects from the left-hand arm il of the two arme by which the feed rock 9 is pivotelly supported on the shaft. 1B. It will he understood therefore that when the universal bnr 29 is moved forwardly to the position shown in Fig. 4: the arm 38 will engage-the screw B9 and will elevate the feed rech 9, thus disengaging it from the feed pinion 8 to free the carriage from control of the eecnpement mechanism. This seme movement of the 'universel bar liis effective to inove the column stop bei' from the forward position rearwardly until the extension 2l vthereon engages one of the screw stops 22 'which hos been interposed in l its path of movement, es indicated in Fior. 4l. rl"he spring 33, which connects the unirersnl ber 29 sind the column stop her ie effective to bring about this rearward :swing ing movement of the letter when the universal bar is moved forwardly against the pressure of ite returning spring` es intlicated in Fig. 4. lf the column Stop ber is arrested in its swinging movement toward the rear of the machine by 'one oi." the slope 22 before the universal oar '129 h cour pleted its; forward movement final Le ore the eetl rack 9 hns been released then e con.

tinued orwertl moyement ofthe universel bnr may be eiecterl, ne indicated in Fic. 4, to bring about the release ot the ge, the universel oar et this time moving independently of the column stop oer and. against the pressure of the spring 3G. When the pressure which actuated the universel har to move itin the manner inclicnted been released the Spring 33 is eil'ective to restore the normal relation between the universel and column etop lt-:ire' and the spring 36 ie effective to return. the universel .liar :intl the column Stop har to the normal position. The return movement of the pertsis .limitcil by the exteneion 2l on the coliunn etop bnr engeging the stop crine 2&5.

I preferably employ menne for holding 'the screw stops 22 in the positions to which they muy be set by the actuation of the col- -umn selecting keys 27. These means' in the present instance comprise :t locking` plate or device l2 pivoted :it 42j on a brochet plete 44E secured to thelellt lmntl end leer of the carriage by screws l The upper end of the locking plato is heut rearwardly an atei@ to form en engaging' port-ion. which cooper' etes with. inclined edges or come 47y 'formed on the column selecting key levers A .contractile spring 48 connected at one. end

to the locking plete :intl et its opposite coll to :in npwurlly extending ear 4l) on the bracket plate 44.-. The pull of the spring is exerted to turn the locking plete on its pivot. nml to move the upper engaging' cnil of the locking plate towel-d the rear of the man chine. Each of the selecting .key levers 2J.- is provided with the same character of inclineol face 47 and the upper encl of each iuon the different key levers are ell in nlinement. The width or' the locking plete is such that the engaging portion or edge 46 thereof is adapted to beer against the inclined edges on all four of the column Selecting key levers. The construction and arrangement of the parte is euch therefore that e depression of a column selecting key is etective to cam forward the upper end of the locking plat-e until the .bent end 46 thereof registers with the locking notch 50 in the depressed lever. The spring i8 is then effective to force the engaging portion 46 of the locking plate in the locking notch 50 as shown in Fig. l and prevent vreturn moveni'ent ot' the olepreesetl column selecting,r 1key. '.lfhe ileprcseion ot' the hey '127 is, as herein before indicateii, eifective "to elevate the rear enel oi the lever to n position where it interposed in the path of the extension 2l on the column. stop bei', so to limit thei rearward swinging movement of the latter. The column selecting hey having been locked in the depressed position and the stop 22 cerriecl, thereby having been locked in its eet position, the hande of the operator are free to efliecteuch other actuation of the parte moy be necessary to complete the tebulating operation or to bring about a' movement of the universal bar 29 hereinbefore infliceteti.

Freni certain aspects of my invention'eny suitable tabulati-ng end carriage release mechanism may be combined with the column stop end column selecting mechanism flcfaerihefl above. However, l have shown in Figs. l to 6, inclusive, ay denominational stop mechanism, combined with thecolumn stop devices in such a manner that the lcarriage muy be arrested :utter e eingleun in any selected denominational position in any selected columnar yfield.' tional stop .mechanism will now be described.

A, series olf fleuomiimtionn-l keys 51 'are provided on angular denominatio'iml key levers :32 mounted to turn on n pivot rod 53 secured to the base of the machine. Each :mooier key lever ie connected to e contractile spring o4 connected :it one end to the lever nml at its opposite end to a hair secured to the loose of the nmcliine. A push link 56 ie connected at onee'nd to the :inguhir denomin:Ltioiml key lever and otite opposite end to on upvalrdly extending oleiioniinat-ioiml stop lever 57 'of the first order.

This denominw The last nwntioueil levers nrc pivoteel at 58 in e tnbulator freine 5.) secured by suitable ineens to the frame of the machine. The

upper end portions GO ofthe levers 57 consl'itnte denominationalI stops, these stops each being adapted to be projected forward] y un unvarying distance from the position vshown in Fig. l to that indicated in 5 Fig. 4 upon the depression of the associated denominational key 51 and all denomina- (il and to be supported against lateral movement and be guided by the teeth 62. Any suitable number of denominational stops, or stop levers 57,"a-nd keys for actuating the-m i :may be provided, ten of such stops and keys being shown inthe present instance.

Each ofthe denominational stop levers 57 is provided with. a forwardly extending projection or arm 64 which is normally free from contact With the universal releasing 5 bar 29, but Which is adapted to coperate with said universal bar when the denominational stop is projected forwardly to op erative: position, as shown in Fig. 4,-and to actuate the carriage release mechanism and o swing the column stop bar back to operative position against the stop 22 which has been interposed in the path thereof, as hereinbefore described. The release of' the carriage effected by -the depression of he denon'iinational key in the manner described enables the carriage to be moved in the direction of its feed by the spring drum until a column stop 20 cooperates with the denominational stop which has been projectet1 forwardly, The particular column stop .which will coaet with the projecteddenominational stop depends on which column seleeting key 27 has beenv depressed, 1f for example the firstkey 27 Vbearing the nn- 5 mera] ,1 is depressed then the lefthand arresting stop 22, as the vparts appear in Fig. 2, is elevated into the pat-h of the column stop bar and the column stop bar will be moved to its farthest posi- DO tion toward the-rear of the machine'when the denominational key is depressed, as shown in Fig. Il. This movementof the column stop baris effect-ive to more the lefthand or shortest cholinnn stop to a position where the projected denominational stop will co-aet therewith and if the carriage'be at the extreme right-hand position the earria e will be arrested by the first column o stop. If thesecond column selecting key 27 bearing the numeral 27 be depressed the'variably movable column stop bar Will be movedjrearwardly to the position Where the second' column -stop is adapted to engage the proje'eted denominational stop. It the fourth key 27 bearing the` numeral et be ment.

depressed the associated arresting stop 22 will' be elevated and a subsequent depression of a denominational key will. be ineffective to more the column stop bar rearwardly, since the increment of this stop 22 to operati"e position brings it in eontactwith the' column stop bar While the latter is main tained in normal position. The depression of the denominational key is however effectire to move the universal bar against the pull of the spring 33, while the column stop bar and the depending arm 35. connected therewith are held against swinging .movel't follows therefore that the feed rack will he released in the usual manner at the depression of a denominational key, although no swinging movementof the column stop bar will be efl'ected at this time. The reason that there is no swinging movement of the column stop bar effected. for the fourth key 27 is that the fourth or righthand'column stop 20 is long enough at the engaging portion thereof to projectinto cooperative relation with a} nrojected'deno1ni national stop and itis therefore unnecessary to move the column stop bar rearwardly to brmg" such column stop to operative posi- `tion, or to a position where it is adapted to cooperate with a projecteddenominational stop.

Should the operator desire to Write continuously at different denominational positionsin a single column, say, for example, the first column, it is merely necessary to depress the column selectin key 27 bearing the numeral 1. Thls key willy be automatically locked in the aetuatedposi- .tion by the locking device 42, anda stop 22 controlled by this key Will, remain indefinitely in thel operative position to engage the column stop bar at each actuation ofa denominational key, so that the carriage may be arrested at di'erent denominational positions but always Within the first column. Should the operator desire to Write first Within the first column and then in the third column. and at dierent denominational positions in these"twoeol unina it is'merely necessary to first depress 4the column selecting 'key bearing the nuineral 12 and then "depress the appro priate denominational key, when the carriage at a single run will more to the proper denominational position within the first columnar field. The third column selecting key may then be depressed and the act of depressing this 'key automatically cams the locking plate' 42 forwardly to release it from the notch 50 in the previously depressed column selecting key lever, thereby automatically releasing the first key and enablingfit to be restored to' normal position under the pressure of its 'restoringfs ringV a. The sto 221onthe first actuate fkey lever will' ereioi-be remmende-agie path ot'the column stop bar and the stop Q2 on the second actunted key lever will he moved into the path oi the column stop bar. A suhsequent actuation ot: a denominational ke). will cause the carriage to be lsuccessively from one column to the next at all times beginning with the first column it is merely necessary to depress the first column selecting keyY hearing the numeral l which enables the column stop bar to receive its greatest extent of rearward movement. 1Vhen the column stop bar is swung real wardly under control of the stop 22 of the first column selecting key, all ot' the column stops Q() will loe positioned so as to oo -act with any projected denomina-y tional stop', when the latter is moved for Ward by its denominational key, and the carriage maymove successively from one celumn stop to the next and to any denominational position Within each columnar field as determined by the depression of the particular denominational key.

Ey making the stops 22 individually ad- ]ustable in the column selecting key levers which carry them, a nice adjustmentot the stops may be eliected to properly determine the requisite extent of variable swinging movement which may he given to the column stop har, in order to bring the appropriate column stop into cooperative relation With a 4)rejected denominational stop. By providing an adjustable contact or screw 39 the feed rack may he properly v disengaged from the feed pinion and the parte nicely regulated to etlect sue-h disengagement by the actuation of the uni verse] bar 29.

In 7 to l() inclusive I have shown ai modified torni of vconstruction which I will now describe. The saine reference numerals Will be en'uytoyed to indicate oorresponding parts of the typewriting machine disclosed in Ithe preceding figures, and as far as possible parts, of the tahulator Imech- :mism which corresponds to, those embodied in the previouslydescribed 4construction will he indicated by the saine ref-- erence numerals, with the addition thereto of the exponent a. key 'levers 24a in this inodited form of construction are pivoted at to a bracket 66 secured to tliereer cross bar of the carriage The column selecting` is connected.

5, These key levers are constructed in the saine general manner :s the corresponding column selectingv key levers .ot the previously deserilufd i'fonstruetion and are provided with keys 27 having indices such as the numerals l if, 3, 4 thereon. ltlach key lever 241 3s prm/ided with a dependingy projection or'stop 67, the 'projections ior the di'tt'ercnt key levers heilig graduated or vacvingf in lengt] as indicated in Fig. T, so that vvariahle extents of movement may he given to the different key levers at the rear ends thereof, it. being understood thut these stops G? co-act with an arresting stop G8 secured to the leftA hand end har of the frame ot' the machine hy n, screw (39. Returningr springs are connected to the arresting bracket or stop G8, each of the sprinvs rco-acting with column selecting lever orward ot its pivot. The various column sek-"cling` levers extend rear vvnrdly trom the pivot n uniform distance and each lever is provided with an interiorly threaded bearing 'it tor the recerition of an adjustable. Contact device T2 in the nature ot ay sereniy received in the threaded hearing 'Ti in the ieier. The upper end ot each screw is adapted to engage the cylindrical extension El on a. column stop liar if. The column stop har is fixed to arms l5@ which are piroted to turn on a Shaft lzptixed hy set screws l-lf in hearings in brackets l0, 'which latter are secured to the rear cross har of the carriage by screws lla. The lettsiiand bracket IC@ con stitutes o, part. of the bracket' till hereinh etore referred to. The arms 13"v are mounted for a limited siidingY movement longitudinally ot the shaft i-ia ns Awell as 'for a turn ing mm'ement thereon, for purposes which will hereinafter more (dearly appear, 'll'ie column stop har is provided with teeth on opposite sides thereof, as in the previously descrihed construction, 'for the reception of liifurcftted column stops 2U in the interdcntal spares hetw 'en the teeth on the har. From an insl'feetion-ot ii'o", 7 it. will lie seen that the column stops extend ui'iwardly and rearwardly trom the column stop cer 'varying distances so that the graduated col umn stops, suoli as those yu'eyiously described, are provided; the stun-test ot said stops being arranged to the lett and the longest.- of said stops heine; arrnilged to the right on the column stop liiur. 'The iu'iiversal har 29 extends throughout. or substantially `throughout the llength ol' the cz'irrizige and is connected at. its ends to arms 30, said arms heilig pivotally supported on the shaft. 13a. The. lefty-hand arm Oaisprovided wilh apin 32 to which onc/ end of a contractile spring 'lh omiosile end ot this spring is connected ti, a pin 84" which projects from the left?V r arm l5 which supports a column stop-Fear 17a. l

ido

As `will be seen from an inspection of Figs. 7 and 8, the pin 34 extends overthe left-hand arm 30a of the universal bar 29a. The pin 34a therefore in addition to providing means for' attachment of one end of the spring 33" also constitutes a stop with whlch the left-hand arm 30l1 cooperates to limit the relative movement between the left-hand arm 30 and the lett-hand arm 15a. The 'spring 33a normally maintains the two stops in 'contact, as shown in Fig. 7, in order to tend to normally maintain a fixed relation between the universal releasing bar 29a and the column stopbar. A stop arm or abutment 73 is also formed onthe left-hand arm 30L for engagement with an extension 7 4 on the lefthand bracket arm 10a. These contact mehr, bers therefore limit the rearward swinging movement 4of the universal bar 29B. The ex.- tension 74 is projected rearwardly and is formed with a depending engaging member 75 provided with a series of stepped stops 7 6 and 77, the latter being the lowermost"` stop. The member 75 with its stepped stops is arranged in the ath of movement of the left-hand arm a, 1t having been heretofore explained that this as'vvell as the companion arm l5 is mounted for a sliding movement longitudinallyr of th'e shaft 13, as Well as for a swinging movement thereon. 'A con` tractile spring 7 8 is connected to a pin 79 at one end, this pin extending upwardly from the right-hand arm 15". The opposite end of the spring is connected toa pin 80 4which projects upwardly from the right-hand bracket l0". The pull of this spring is therefore exerted to elect a limited longitudinal movement of the arms 15, and the column stop bar carried thereby, to the left relatively to the carriage and relatively to the shaft 13a' by which said members are carried. The stepped stops on the member 75 limit the swinging movement of the arms 15 and the column stop bar, aswell as the movement thereof longitudinally of the shaft 13B, as 4will presently appear. The lowermost steppedstop 77 is the one on4 p which't-he left-hand arm l5l is normally supported against the pull of the spring 78 50 as indicated in Figs. 8 and 9. When, how ever, 'a selecting key 27 is depressed, the contact device 72 carried by the associated key lever engages the extension 21 of the column stop bar and swings the column stop bar around the shaft 13l as a center, the extent of swinging movementVdepcnding on the particular column selecting key which 4has been depressed. A swinging movement of the columnstop bar, thus effected, swings' the arms 15l with it, thus freeing the left* hand arm 15from the lowermoststop 76 and carrying the arm to a position where it is adapted to engage one or another of the stops 76. As soon as the left-hand arm is 65 disengaged from the lowermost stop' in the manner indicated, the spring 78v becomes effective to shift the column stop bar with its arms 15a to the lett relatively to the carringe, thereby bringing about' an engagement between the lctt-hand arm l5a and the appropriate stop TG. The engaged arm l5a Mill retain the column -stop bar in the position to which it has been swung 'around the shaft 13 although a slight longitudinal dis- `v`tive to project the associated denominational.

st ppLtorwardly as indicated in dotted lines 1n yF 1g. 7. Each of the levers 57a is provided with a forwardly extending projection 64.

pro-

adapted to coperate with the universal bar.

2.9 at any point in the travel of -the carriage.

Should the operator desire to select`- a. given denominational position within, say, the second columnar field it is merely neces- `sary to depress the second column selecting key bearing the index numeral 2. This is ellectlve to swing the column stop bar up- Wardly a height corresponding to the key.l

which has been depressed. This extent of lswinging movement of the column stop bar is etlective to bring the second of the rol-l umn stops 20 to a. position where it is in coperative relation with any of the denomlnational stops when the latter are' projected to operative position. As soon as the column stop bar has been moved upwardly in the manner described, a longitudinal movement of the column stop bar to the lett under the pull of the spring 78 is effective to bring about an engagement between the Ileft-hand arm l5a and. the appropriate locking stop 76 in order to lock the column stop bar in t-he position to which it has been moved by the depression of the column selecting key. The movement of the denominational stop lever, to effect a move ment of a denominational stop to operative position in the manner just described, is also effect-ive to swing the. universal bar 29 forwardly through the engagement of the pr0- jection 64B therewith. A' forward movement of the universal bar QD is thus effected against the/pull ol the spring 33, to cause the universal bar and the arms 30 thereof to move forward independently of the arms l5, From an inspection of Fig. 8 it will be noemer from the left-hand erm 30a and is received beneath the lett-hond arm 41u which plv otally supiiorts the feed rack 9 on. the shaft. 13u. lt will he understood therefore that when the universel har 29 is moved forwardly in the manner just described, the pif' 8lv will engage the ossee-lated arm 4l ot' lla 'toed rack, thus lifting the i'ffeed raolt out. of engagement with the feed pinion 8. This releane of the carriage from control of the escapeanent mechanism takes place at.,l the depression of a denominational key and after the column selecting key has been aetnoted. in the manner defst'rioed4 The carriage havingr been releaeed the carriage will. he moved under the power of 'its spring drinn until the projeoled denominational stop en gages the seeond column stop from the lett on the column stop bar. The carriage after a single run will therefore he arrested in the lesii-'ed denominational position determined by the depression of the dei'i-.oininational key and in the selected columnar field Whieh determined by the depreesion ot' a eolnn'in seleoting key 27a. in the present. instance this will he the second column, ity having been nssixmed that the second column Selectn ing key hearing the index numeral i 2 l has been depressed.

Nile-n the column stop is engaged by the projected denominational stop the. column stop har will be arrested although the can ringe Will continue to more a limited distance independently of the Column ,stop foar hy reason of' the sliding connection between the column stop loer and. ite supporting Shaft, 13?. All 'this time the power 'of' the carriage spring is etl'eotire to oyerooine the pull of the spring To which eonnests the column stop har with the earria-ge. The effect ot this relative movement between the carriage and the eohnnn stop bar to disengage the leithand arm l5 .from the sto i TG lofi which vthe oolun'i-n sto har wos looked in its wt position end the restoration of the letohanil arm 15a to its norma-l position relatively to the member T5 onder the pull of the springs J-.- and 27S is; t-lms oiiet'tetl. ln short, the looking menne automatically released to restore' the column stop har to normal, position lioth ltmgiludi nally ot the ehalit l,

I have provided on each column stop a, latand around the shal't. f

orally extending flange or lug 82 Which pro jects from the let`t-hand face thereof along its upper edge. A corresponding laterally projecting llange, 83 is formed along the bottom edge of each of the denominational stops on the right-hand face thereof. It willhe umflerstood therefore that. when a denominational stop projected to the operetive position 'its flange 83 will. be in a position to engage beneath the flange 82 on the column stop with which the denominational stop odaets. This engagement between the flanges and 83 is effect-ive to prevent a restoration ot the column stop har in its pivotal movement around the Shaft 13a until the withdrawal of the projection Gila from the universal liar, to bring about o restnhlishment oi the connection between the feed rari( 9 and the feed pinion 8. This aesurc-.s a. placing of the carriage under the lcontrol oli the feed mechanism after ay tabu latine: operation before the denominational stop is, withdrawn from engagement with the selected column stop. After an engage nient ol the feed raeli with its pinion has been effected, during,` the movement of the denominational stop hack to normal position, the flange S3 on the denominational stop Withdrawn from beneath the coacttlange on the column stop and the oolmnn stop bei.' is then free to he turned down into engagement with the stop 77 which arrests the turning movement of the vcolumn stop har beck to its normal position,

A guide platf 84 is preferably formed, :t indicated in Fig. lt). for cooperation with the denomina(ional stops to maintain them 'properly spaced apart and to atiord a. snpportto resist iinpatt of the eolnnin stops against Said denoininational stone. Frein an inepeetion ot Figs. T and l() it will he seen that. the plate Sat is provided n'ith a series ot' depending teeth between which the tiroir-r p rtions of the denominational Stops are reeeiwtl` -Whereas the enlarged openingl 8o iu the plato and in the companion plate Si. is ada ited to reoeive laterall,Y "n.'o'eotino'4 lanziesA tti-l on the denoiuinational Stops.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that in each of the constructions shown there 'is a variable extent ol relative movement between the', graduated column ,stops and the cooperative tabulator or de- 4selecting meansfare provided to determine the extent of such variable m'ovelnent; that stops are employed to arrest a dii'lerentially movable part of the column selecting mechanism; that at the actuation ot' the column selecting mechanism parte are automatically 4locked in the operative or selected position;

that such parts are afterward automatically released; that both thecolumn selecting'keys and the denominational keys have a uniform, or substantially uniform, extent of movement notwithstanding that diii'erential extents ol movement of the column sto bar are controlled by' the column` selecting lieys; that the denominational stops have a uniform extent4 of movementwhich is unvariable; that the column selecting keys are oarried. by carriage,.whereas the denomina tional lo,Ju are arranged in the keyboard of the machine; that a jt-abulating operation does not talie place at the actuation of a column selecting key but that the aotuatioi'i of a denominational hey in cach instance is effective to release the carriage and eliect a tabulatingoperation; that each column selooting key controls a different columnar po sition of arrest of the carriage; that in the construction shown in Figs. l to G one of the column selecting keys will at all times be lockedV down so that 4the column stop meehanism will always be operative that in 4this same construction each column selecting key controls a diilerent arresting stop 22; and that the column stop bar, the arms whichcarry it, ete., constitute a 'tramo that is variahly movable by a denominational stop and is arrested in its variable movement by arresting means or stops :22 controlled by the column selecting keys.
